Improvement of and setting standards for clinical phenotyping, building structures to collect well-phenotyped patient groups, e.g. based on testicular histology.
Clinical and research interests include male reproductive endocrinology & the evaluation & management of male infertility, and androgen physiology and studies on their use and abuse. He has particular interests in the genetics of male infertility, the optimal use of assisted reproduction and the follow up on ART offspring health.
